The Quaker Oats Company is an American food conglomerate based in Chicago, Illinois. It has been a subsidiary of PepsiCo since 2001. The company was founded in 1877 and is known for its production of oatmeal and other food and beverage products.

History

The Quaker Oats Company was founded in 1877 by Henry Parsons Crowell, Ferdinand Schumacher, and Robert Stuart. The company was one of the first to register a trademark for a breakfast cereal, using the image of a Quaker man, which has become an iconic symbol of the brand.

In 1901, several oat milling companies merged to form the Quaker Oats Company. The company expanded its product line over the years to include a variety of food and beverage items. In 1983, Quaker Oats acquired the Gatorade brand, which significantly boosted its market presence.
